AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that Google Workspace excels in multi-calendar view functionality, scoring 9.2, which allows for seamless management of multiple schedules. In contrast, Calendly's score of 8.9 indicates it may not offer the same level of visibility for users managing several calendars.
- Reviewers mention that Google Workspace's customizable viewing options score 9.1, providing users with flexibility in how they display their calendars. Calendly, with a score of 8.8, offers some customization but may not meet the diverse needs of all users.
- Users on G2 highlight that Google Workspace's quality of support is rated at 8.6, which some find lacking compared to Calendly's higher score of 9.0. Reviewers appreciate Calendly's responsive support team, which enhances the overall user experience.
- Reviewers say that Google Workspace shines in calendar collaboration, scoring 9.2, making it a preferred choice for teams needing to work together on scheduling. Calendly, while still effective with a score of 9.0, may not provide the same depth of collaborative features.
- G2 users report that Google Workspace's ease of use is rated at 9.3, making it user-friendly for individuals and teams alike. Calendly, with a slightly higher score of 9.4, is noted for its intuitive interface, particularly for scheduling meetings without the back-and-forth emails.
- Users say that Google Workspace's cross-system integration score of 7.6 indicates some limitations in connecting with other software, while Calendly's score of 6.9 suggests it may struggle even more in this area, potentially affecting users who rely on multiple tools for their workflows.
